THE GREEN CHRISTMAS PARTY...

was a hit! We wore GREEN!












We ate GREEN food - on the menu was Artichoke Dip, Pepper jelly with cream cheese, Jalapeno Popper, GREEN salad, Broccolli salad, Corn bread with GREEN chilies, Pork Loin with GREEN apple salsa, GREEN bean casserole, Twice baked potatoes sprinkled with GREEN onion, Fruit tray with GREEN apples, kiwi, pears, figs, a relish tray with GREEN pickles, olives, etc., GREEN apple cobbler, Pistachio cake, and Creme de Menthe brownies!







After playing Bunko we exchanged our gifts in Eco-friendly (GREEN) tins. I was the grand prize winner of the lovely Elvira/Woody cutout wearing a Snuggie! Elvira has been making her way around the group for several years now...mmm...how will I dress her next year?







This group has been a constant in my life for about 15 years now...a great source of comfort and stress relief for this busy mom. I wish for all of you some kind of similar support group in your life!

I am wondering how that cut out fit into a tin!

well....it didn't. Of course it was the prettiest tin, and I picked it after losing a Target gift card to someone else. There was candy and a nice little poem in the tin! Elvira had been hidden back in the closet by my friend!

That Elvira snuggie cutout is the best. That is hilarious.

I heard about this party from Mark. He claims he never got the message about wearing green and showed up in red. My theory: he just wants all the attention!

That is wonderful that you have such a close group of friends that have been such a blessing to you for so long.
